Damaged Goods – Vasha Crow (1)

Which made sense, of course. It had seemed strange that the Rat Kings’ operation might exist in San Corvo without Darius knowing about it. Turns out, they already had their hands in the underground corners Darius was familiar with. Darius eased the truck around a corner, ignoring the grumpy pile of traffic waiting behind him.

The next street was quieter, leading to one of San Corvo’s wealthiest neighborhoods. A collection of pseudo-Victorian houses sheltering behind wrought iron fences and SoCal-typical palm trees. One of those houses was their new home. Kit stared up at the house with rising panic. It looked larger than the photographs, all rust-red boards and off-white trim. The roof soared unevenly like a mountain range. There were gables, if Kit was correct about what gables were. It was a cross between a protective castle and a cozy farmhouse nest, and it was exactly what Kit had wanted.

Until about twenty seconds ago. James and Darius were farther down the expansive driveway, arguing next to the moving truck. Something about why Darius couldn’t have just taken the firearms himself and hired help for the furniture. The counterargument was that if James couldn’t handle it, maybe Darius would. Which had the predictable result of James swearing and jumping into the truck. If they hurt themselves carrying couches, Kit wasn’t calling for help. Because he would be too busy stealing James’s keys, jumping in the car, and driving far, far away, never to return.

Living with James was one thing. That was just mooching off his rich boyfriend. Crashing without paying rent. This was a house purposefully purchased for them. As a unit, all four of them. And the four of them included Kit, which meant this was a permanent residence. For him. Heavy footsteps stopped behind him. “What’s wrong, Trouble?” Darius asked, massaging Kit’s tense shoulders.

Kit felt even tinier than usual under Darius’s warm hands. “Is it too late to return the house?” “Just a bit,” Darius said, infuriatingly calm. James joined them, spinning a set of keys. “My realtor would fucking murder me. Sweet lady, but the bigger the hair, the deadlier they are.”

He sounded calm too. Horrible men, both of them. “You can move in, Darius,” Kit said, trying to joke past the anxiety. “So can James and Holden. I’ll just visit everyone on weekends.” That would give Kit time to run away.
